A daredevil angler has come up with an interesting way of catching fish ... by jumping out of a helicopter at them.

Kiwi Matt Watson says he was inspired by diving seabirds and wanted to replicate the way they catch their prey.

After 11 months of training it took the Ultimate Fishing Show host five attempts before he managed to jump onto and wrestle this marlin.

The 33-year-old then let the fish go before trying to dream up more wacky an bizarre ways of catching them, normally from modes of transport.

Matt has also caught fish from a jet ski and a surfboard ... lets see him try it from the number 64 busin Birmingham.
